In the sequel, we find Miranda Priestly (Streep) and Nigel Kipling (Tucci) in similar spirits and roles at Runway magazine. The editor-in-chief is still forthright and hilariously un-politically correct. Meanwhile, Emily Charlton (Blunt) has surprisingly left the fashion publication, now running luxury retail marketing for Dior. And 20 years after Andy Sachs (Hathaway) quit Runway, we see her living out her dream as a successful journalist at the New York Vanguard newsroom… that is before things take a turn.

In addition to Andy’s best friend Lily (Tracie Thoms) returning to the sequel, there’s a host of new characters. From Miranda’s assistants Amari (Simone Ashley) and Charlie (Caleb Hearon) to Andy’s new assistant Jin (Helen Shen), there’s a younger, but not-too-woke set of employees that reflect today’s knowledgeable and scrappy fashion scene, without being as demeaning as Emly. Plus, there’s a new love interest who isn’t absolutely horrible like Nate was!

We also get some new big-name actors like Lucy Liu as wealthy philanthropist Sasha and Justin Theroux as her grimy ex-husband Benji. But my absolute delight was spotting all the half-second cameos from today’s most viral personalities (Paige DeSorbo, Amelia Dimoldenberg) and supermodels (Heidi Klum, Ashley Graham), plus plot points with iconic designers (Donatella Versace, Marc Jacobs). And of course, as it was leaked beforehand, Lady Gaga makes a cameo as herself, and her performance doesn’t disappoint.
